FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a customizable medicine cabinetcomprising a tiled frame. In particular, the present invention relatesto a medicine cabinet whereby tiles can be attached to match a user'sbathroom tile or personal tastes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Medicine cabinets are widely used in residential areas for storingtoiletries, medicines, and various other articles. They are oftenrectangular and have a shallow depth. The depth allows them to bemounted to an outer surface or be recessively mounted within thesurface. One or more doors having mirrors are mounted to the cabinetbody via hinges or other commonly used hardware. Shelving inside thecabinet body is used to compartmentalize the cabinet for better storage.

The cabinets can be installed during initial construction or whileremodeling. Often they are viewed as important pieces for the home.Thus, manufacturers strive to offer a variety of medicine cabinetstyles, finishes, shapes, and functionality to please a customer.Traditionally, frames are used to enhance the overall appearance of thecabinet and to complement or contrast other textures, colors andfinishes. The frames are either mounted on the cabinet body or on thecabinet door. Frames made of wood, metal, plastic, mirrors, orcombinations of light fixtures are commonly used and well known.

Although many varieties of cabinets are currently available, they haveextremely limited customizable feature availability. Instead, currentlyavailable cabinets are sold as a finished product having minimalassembly, which are generally ready to be installed. As a result, acustomer must rely on the limited number of styles and finishes offeredby the manufacturer. Importantly, medicine cabinet manufacturers do notoffer solutions for complementing or contrasting the surrounding tilesof tiled surfaces.

Therefore what is needed is a medicine cabinet with a frame wherebytiles can be attached to create a customized cabinet to match a user'sbathroom tiles or personal tastes. The cabinet can be sold as anunfinished product, which allows a user to finish it through theselection and installation of preferred tile. Advantageously, thisprocess allows almost complete customization of the overall appearanceof a medicine cabinet.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a medicine cabinet which includes acabinet body and a door rotatably or slidably attached to the cabinetbody. In addition, a frame is imposed around the cabinet door or thecabinet body and is offered in various sizes to match the width ofvarious standard tile sizes.

As a marketable product the medicine cabinet can be sold as anunfinished product requiring the customer to select preferred tile.Alternatively, the cabinet can be sold in a catalog whereby a user canplace a custom order through the catalog. To place the order thecustomer can choose the cabinet size, design, tile size, and tilefinish. After receiving the order, the manufacturer can assemble thecustom cabinet and install the chosen tiles on the cabinet door or bodyframe according to the custom order. Of course, sale of the cabinet isnot restricted to a catalog; any well known means of purchasing acabinet can be used including way of non-limiting examples: purchase ata retail store, purchase at wholesale store or purchase over theInternet.

A ready to purchase cabinet kit can be sold by offering a series ofready to use models. The models can differ according to cabinet sizes,cabinet styles, door configuration, and frame sizes capable ofaccommodating standard tile sizes. The cabinet can be offered for saleas a completed kit or piecemeal, wherein the customer purchases thecabinet body, one or more cabinet doors, and the tiles separately. Thecabinet can then be installed and finished by the customer or a hiredprofessional. Well known adhesives can be utilized to attach tiles tothe cabinet frame. To aid in this type of tile installation, the cabinetframe may comprise an adhesive ready surface. Alternatively, easy to useadhesives and/or grout can be included in the cabinet kit to enable“do-it-yourselfers” to finish the product at home. In addition, thetiles need not be permanently attached to the frame. Instead ofadhesives, removable tile systems can be used to enable customers toinstall tiles quickly and easily.

The present invention has the capability for mass customization as eachcustomer can create an individual, unique pattern of tiles for theframe. Instead of the currently available, limited selection of medicinecabinets, the present invention can exist in hundreds of variationsbased on both the size of the tile and its design.

Two sliding mirror doors 805-806 are attached to thecabinet body 801 through tracks (not shown) and are capable of slidingopen and closed in directions 807-808 respectfully. Alternatively, doors805-806 can be rotatably attached to the cabinet body 801 utilizinghinges similar to those preview described. Of course, it is to beunderstood that additional doors can be used in accordance with thepresent invention. For example, to make a three door cabinet, anadditional mirror door is used and the cabinet body 801 and the cabinetframe 803 are constructed horizontally larger to accommodate the thirddoor.

Various tile sizes and shapes can be used in accordance with the presentinvention as shown in FIGS. 9A-9D. Tiles can be chosen of differentmaterial such as, but not limited to, glass, ceramic, porcelain, andstone tiles. The thickness can range from ¼ to ¾ inches. The frame forreceiving tiles is made slightly larger than the various tile sizes suchthat a clean look is achieved leaving enough space between tiles and onthe edges for mounting. Preferably, the spacing between neighboringtiles and the frame is approximately ¼ inches. To use square tiles 900of FIG. 9A having the width 903, the frame width 902 is slightly largerthan the tile width 903. A double square 910 tile design of FIG. 9B or alarger combination of smaller tiles (i.e. mosaic tiles) can also beaccommodated. The frame width is made slightly larger than the number ofconsecutive tiles times the tile width, as illustrated in the example ofFIG. 9B, (i.e. the frame width 912 is slightly larger than twice thetile width 913). Different frame widths can be available to accommodatestandard square tile sizes such as 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 1×6, 2×6, 1×12,and 6×6 inches. Preferably, the tile size is 4×4 inches.

Rectangular tiles 920 can also be accommodated by a cabinet door frameor a cabinet body frame 921. The frame width 922 is made slightly largerthan tile width 923. Frame widths should accommodate standardrectangular tile widths such as, but not limited to, 2×1, 2×6, 3×6, 3×9,and 3×12 inches. A frame can be available for diagonal tile designs asshown in FIG. 9D. Square tiles 920 and triangular tiles 924 (which canbe formed by cutting a square tile into two) are placed along thediagonal 923 on frame 921. Frame 921 should have width 922 slightlylarger than diagonal length 923 of tiles 920. Other frame widths can bemade available to accommodate various ornamental tile designs. Thesetile designs, well known in the art, can include by way of non-limitingexamples: circular, ovular, polygonal, or the like. Indeed, any shape,color, and thickness can be used with any type of tile withoutseparating from the spirit of the invention. In addition, pre-fabricatedsheets of tiles (not shown) can be used in accordance with the presentinvention.

For design variations, the cabinet door frame or the cabinet body framemay be configured in a variety of ways as shown in FIGS. 10A-10C. FIG.10A shows a polygonal frame 1000 having four sides and diagonally cutcorners which is capable of receiving standard sized tiles 1001 alongits perimeter. Also, square shape 1003 as shown in FIG. 10B can beprovided for receiving standard size tiles 1004. Finally, a circularframe 1005 is capable of receiving tiles 1006 cut down for a circularpattern. It is contemplated that any designed shape can be adapted foruse with the current invention.

FIG. 11 illustrates tile application via an adhesive 1103 to a doorframe or a cabinet body frame 1101. A number of tile adhesives can beused such as but not limited to cement-based, thinset, organic adhesive,latex-based, and the like. Easy to use adhesives of premixed and readyto use mastics are preferred (i.e. organic adhesives). A membrane layer1102 over the frame 1101 surface is used to provide protection for tileinstallations from problematic substrates and external stresses. Tileadhesive 1103 is applied covering the complete surface of membrane 100.The tile 1100 is then installed directly to the adhesive 1103. Finally,grout or silicon sealer is applied to fill in the spacing.

For an even easier tile installation, an adhesive system comprising adouble sided adhesive on a roll can be used. The roll would be cut tothe frame shape, peeled to expose the adhesive, and applied to theframe. The cabinet can be sold with the roll already cut and adhered tothe frame. To install the tiles, a user simply peels a film from theface of the roll to expose the adhesive and applies the tile to theexposed adhesive (located on the frame). Mounting is finished with theapplication of grout or silicon sealant to fill in tile spacing.

Alternatively, a removable tile application shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 isused for quick, easy, and removable tile installation. Two tracks1202-1203 are mounted perpendicularly to the frame 1200 edges. Eachtrack 1202 and 1203 is of a ‘U’ configuration along the cross section.The tracks can be made of any well known material and mounted in anyknown manner. To install tile 1201, the tile edges should be alignedwith tracks 1202-1203 such that the edges can be inserted into tracks1202-1203 and slide along tracks 1202-1203. A locking mechanism (notshown) can be used to lock the tile in place and prevent it from fallingout. The tracks 1202-1203 are constructed to be able to accept standardtile thicknesses such as ¼ to ¾ inches thick. With a removable tileconfiguration, the tiles 1201 on the cabinet door frame or cabinet bodyframe 1200 can be removed and changed as desired. Of course, a removabletile system is not limited to the use of two tracks. It is contemplatedthat any other means for attaching the tiles to a door or cabinet framecan be used in accordance with the present invention.
